Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a car undercover.
  • an undercover of a vehicle performs functions to protect various components provided on a lower portion of a vehicle, to reduce air resistance during driving of the vehicle, and to block missiles from the road.
  • Such undercover is installed on a cross member disposed on a lower portion of a front bumper, thereby protects engine and chassis components from protrusions on the ground, as well as smoothens air flow on a lower portion of the vehicle.
  • an FEM Front End Module
  • a vehicle front module integrating a front frame carrier, a radiator, a condenser, a heat exchanger such as intercooler, a fan and shroud, a headlamp and a bumper into a single unit.
  • Adopting such FEM enables an integrated design more efficient and lighter than a conventional vehicle body structure, thereby simplifies the process and enhances assembly workability, as well as contributes to maximize efficiency of heat exchanger by optimizing the structure of the heat changing unit.
  • the conventional undercover only includes a function to cover the lower portion of a vehicle, but lacks a protective function for pedestrians.
  • the conventional undercover particularly the conventional FEM has an disadvantage of increasing damage rate of a vehicle body during an RCAR (Research Council for Automobile Repairs) collision test for simulating collision between vehicles, because the collision force is directly delivered to the front frame carrier so as to cause great damage to internal components.
  • RCAR Search Council for Automobile Repairs
  • One of purposes of the present disclosure is to provide a car undercover which is not broken in order to minimize damage of a pedestrian when colliding with the pedestrian, otherwise, is broken in order to minimize damage of internal components when colliding with a vehicle.
  • a car undercover comprising: a cover main body installed on a lower portion of a vehicle; a reinforcement rib formed by being upwardly protruded from the cover main body; a mount unit disposed on the reinforcement rib or on a longitudinal extension line of the reinforcement rib, by being provided in order to install the cover main body on the lower portion of the vehicle; and a stiffener disposed by being spaced from the mount unit, by being upwardly protruded from the reinforcement rib.
  • the stiffener may prevent breakage of the cover main body, when an impulse less than a predetermined impulse is applied to the cover main body.
  • a breakage may be induced at a portion of the cover main body corresponding to a portion between the stiffener and the mount unit, when an impulse equal to or more than a predetermined impulse is applied to the cover main body.
  • the cover main body may be roundly bent from a front towards a rear and may gradually be declined to a lower portion along a way to the rear.
  • the reinforcement rib may be extended in anteroposterior directions, and a plurality of the reinforcement ribs may be provided and disposed by being spaced in a widthwise direction of the vehicle.
  • the mount unit may be disposed at a rear end portion of the cover main body, and a plurality of the mount unit may be provided and disposed by being spaced in a widthwise direction of the vehicle.
  • the reinforcement rib may be extended in anteroposterior directions and is gradually declined to a lower portion along a way to a rear
  • the stiffener may be extended in anteroposterior directions and is gradually declined to a lower portion along a way to a front
  • the mount unit may be disposed by being spaced from a rear of the stiffener.
  • a width of the stiffener may gradually become narrower along a way to an upper portion.
  • the reinforcement rib may be formed by a bending of the cover main body, and the stiffener may be formed as a single body with the reinforcement rib.
  • a car undercover comprising: a cover main body installed on a lower end of a front frame carrier; a plurality of mount units formed by being spaced at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction on an end of the cover main body, in order to install the cover main body; and a reinforcement rib formed by being protruded in a vertically longitudinal direction on an internal side of the cover main body, in order to reinforce strength, wherein the reinforcement rib includes a stiffener formed by being protruded from the reinforcement rib in a shape opposite to a shape of the reinforcement rib.
  • a protruded height of the reinforcement rib may gradually become higher along a way to a front, and a protruded height of the stiffener gradually may become higher along a way to a rear.
  • a width of the stiffener may gradually become narrower along a way to an upper portion.
  • the car undercover may minimize damage of a pedestrian, by not being broken when colliding with the pedestrian.
  • the car undercover may minimize damage of internal components, by being broken when colliding with a vehicle.
  • a car undercover may include a cover main body (100).
  • the cover main body (100) may be installed on a lower portion of a vehicle.
  • the cover main body (100) may be installed on a lower end of a front frame carrier which carries electronic units.
  • the cover main body (100) may be roundly bent from a front (a direction where a vehicle moves forward, based on movement of the vehicle) towards a rear (a direction where a vehicle moves backward, based on movement of the vehicle) and may gradually be declined to a lower portion along a way to the rear.
  • a plurality of mount units (110) disposed by being spaced at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction may be provided on an end portion of the cover main body (110).
  • the mount unit (110) may be provided in order to install the cover main body (100) on the lower portion of the vehicle.
  • the mount unit (110) may be disposed on a reinforcement rib (120) or on a longitudinal extension line of the reinforcement rib (120).
  • a plurality of the mount unit (110) may be provided and disposed by being spaced in a widthwise direction of the vehicle.
  • the mount unit (110) may be in a shape of a boss capable of bolt coupling.
  • a reinforcement rib (120) formed by being protruded in a vertically longitudinal direction may be provided on an internal side of the cover main body, in order to reinforce strength.
  • a plurality of the reinforcement ribs (120) may be provided and disposed by being spaced in a widthwise direction of the cover main body (100).
  • the reinforcement rib (120) may be formed by being upwardly protruded from the cover main body (100).
  • the reinforcement rib (120) may be extended in anteroposterior directions.
  • a plurality of the reinforcement ribs (120) may be provided and disposed by being spaced in a widthwise direction of the vehicle.
  • the reinforcement rib (120) may be formed by a bending of the cover main body (100).
  • a stiffener (200) may be formed as a single body with the reinforcement rib (120).
  • the stiffener (200) may be formed by being upwardly protruded from the reinforcement rib (120).
  • the stiffener (200) may disposed by being spaced from the mount unit (110).
  • a width of the stiffener (200) may gradually become narrower along a way to an upper portion.
  • the reinforcement rib (120) may be extended in anteroposterior directions and may gradually be declined to a lower portion along a way to a rear.
  • the stiffener (200) may be extended in anteroposterior directions and may gradually be declined to a lower portion along a way to a front.
  • the mount unit (110) may disposed by being spaced from a rear of the stiffener (200).
  • the stiffener (200) may prevent breakage of the cover main body (100), when an impulse less than a predetermined impulse is applied to the cover main body (100). That is, the stiffener (200) may enhance strength of the cover main body (100) when a comparatively less amount of impulse is applied to the cover main body (100). In other words, the stiffener (200) may reinforce strength of the cover main body (100) with respect to an impulse lower than 1 ton generated when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian, so as to prevent breakage of the cover main body (100). In such case, the damage impacted to legs of the pedestrian may be reduced, in comparison with a case where the cover main body (100) is broken.
  • a breakage may be induced at a portion of the cover main body corresponding to a portion between the stiffener (200) and the mount unit (110), when an impulse equal to or more than a predetermined impulse is applied to the cover main body (100). That is, the stiffener (200) may induce a breakage at a particular position in the cover main body (100) when a comparatively large amount of impact is applied to the cover main body (100). In other words, the stiffener (200) may induce a breakage in the cover main body (100) by providing a weak point with respect to an impulse when the vehicle collides with another vehicle. In such case, the damage impacted to internal components inside of the cover main body (100) may be minimized, in comparison with a case where the cover main body (100) is not broken.
  • the stiffener (200) may be formed by being protruded at a point where the reinforcement rib (120) is about to begin to be protruded from an internal side of the cover main body (100). Thereby, the stiffener may be formed so that a collision force delivered when an RCAR collision test is conducted can be blocked by the stiffener (200). That is, the collision energy is snapped and prevented from being directly delivered to the front frame carrier.
  • the stiffener (200) may be protruded in a shape opposite to a protrusion shape of the reinforcement rib (120).
  • a protruded height of the reinforcement rib (120) may gradually become higher along a way to a front.
  • a protruded height of the stiffener (200) may gradually become higher along a way to a rear, as an opposite shape of the reinforcement rib (120).
  • the reason of forming the reinforcement rib (120) and the stiffener (200) in such structure is, in order to match the lowest protruded portion of the reinforcement rib (120) with the lowest protruded portion of the stiffener (200) and to realize a significant difference in strength by the border of the matched point. Thereby, the collision energy can be concentrated to the lowest protruded portion, that is, to the weak point, and the weak point may be broken while being bent.
  • the collision energy becomes rapidly extinct by the breakage, and is prevented from being delivered to the front frame carrier. Thereby, the internal components may be protected.
  • Such effect of the present disclose may contribute to comply with the legal requirements for pedestrians.
  • the bending of the cover main body (100) when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian may contribute to protect the pedestrians safely.
  • a side of the stiffener (200) may be designed as being variable, because the strength (stiffness) of the stiffener (200) may be controlled by modifying the side.
  • the side (width) of the stiffener (200) may gradually become narrower along a way to an upper portion.
  • FIG. 4 includes two bottom plan views illustrating a state of a car undercover according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure installed on a vehicle before an RCAR (Research Council for Automobile Repairs) test (a), and after an RCAR (Research Council for Automobile Repairs) test (b), respectively.
  • RCAR Search Council for Automobile Repairs
  • the RCAR test is a simulated vehicle collision test, which was conducted by striking the vehicle with a weight of 1.45ton in a speed of 15km/h.
  • FIG. 4 (a) it is shown that a breakage has been generated at a portion of the cover main body (100) corresponding to a portion between the stiffener (200) and the mount unit (100) by the RCAR test.
  • stiffener (200) induced the breakage in advance so as to prevent the collision energy from being delivered to the front frame carrier.
  • a horizontal center of the cover main body (100) is set as an OBL, and the decelerations and bend angles were tested at points spaced at particular intervals from the OBL, that is, eccentric points (100bl, 225BL, 410BL, 450BL, 550BL).
  • OBL eccentric points
  • BL means an extent of eccentricity (mm).
  • BL means an extent of eccentricity (mm).
